Delivery Order of Mower Lawn Riding

1 x Turf Mower with requested attachments (mulcher, sweeper, and warranty) Questions Due: 26AUG2024 at 1600 CEST Funds are not presently available for this contract. The Government's obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement, (ii) price and (iii) delivery timeline. Technical and delivery timeline, when combined, are approximately more significant to price (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Contractors a. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Contract. b. During this transition period, Contractors are hereby advised: 1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to generate distributable copies of this contract during its period of performance, as well as any subsequent modifications or orders (if applicable). As a result: i. Subsequent documents you receive may appear noticeably different than the original award or previous contractual documents from the same Contracting Office. ii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning contract terms and conditions to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. iii. Contractors shall ensure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and personnel interacting with this contract are prepared to identify and respond appropriately to differences between document versions. 2. The Government does not intend to use the shift between contract writing systems to effect any changes to Contract terms and conditions. Therefore: i. Contractors should view changes to terms or conditions between document versions as system-generated and potentially erroneous unless accompanied by narrative(s) designating such changes as deliberate and desired. ii. Contractors shall inform the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the most recent document issued for guidance regarding any suspected or observed inadvertent or system-generated changes (e.g. noticing something missing in a new conformed copy). iii. The Government will correct any inadvertent or system-generated changes, additions, or omissions discovered by either party, via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. iv. The terms and conditions contained in the latest document reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the last conformed copy of the award not affected by the observed issue) will take precedence until these problems are corrected. 3. In the unlikely event award information is corrupted or mutilated during system migration and replacement or re-issuance of this contract is necessary for continued contract administration, the Contracting Officer will: i. Issue a continuation contract in accordance with DFARS 204.1601(c) and DFARS PGI 204.1601(c), carrying over all terms and conditions from the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties. ii. Incorporate the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties as an attachment to the replacement or continuation contract for future reference. iii. Ensure any such reissuance or continuance is properly reported to preserve the integrity of Contractor performance measurement data, if any (e.g. FAPIIS, CPARS).
